Elayne Francis Muratet May, cherished friend to many AWA members, passed suddenly on Tuesday, March 9th in Carmel, Indiana, encircled by family and without pain. Elayne was an AWA member during the 1980s and continued her warm AWA friendships long after she and her family left California for Indiana, reconnecting at OWA and AIA events, while traveling, and on Facebook.
